Oh I doubt it. For him to even bring Fiction up, he must have had some discussions with them. Remember, this release has been on and off for at least the last year or two. Maybe it's Fiction who have finally convinced him to release it.

According to Apter's biography around the the time of Join The Dots. Parry and Smith hadn't been getting along since WMS. Parry had been on at him over those few years to buy him out but Robert didn't want a bar of it.Parry then sold to Universal to which Robert claims he did it without his knowledge..Needless to say, Chris Parry walked away a very rich man!

uhm yeah... Andy Anderson that guy... that drummer guy... yeah... haha man did this thread completely ignore the man or what? Loads of interesting stuff about the interview of course... just not sure why it landed here!

Andy was the drummer when I more intently started listening to The Cure so just seeing this picture (which ironically [or not] showcases Robert far more than Andy) does my heart good. Trying to imagine what's going through Robert's mind...
